The housewife stereotype has long since shattered - it's all about leaning in, breaking the glass ceiling, closing the wage gap and more.
Why I Hate Job Interviews?
In a society where it's important to at least pretend everyone is equal, job interviews are a stark and constant reminder that we're not. Well, I suppose it's only constant in my case because I never land the job and therefore, am always looking for another, but my point stands. I find it very reassuring that many of us live in a world where any drunk off the street can shout something at the President about his mother, and the President is forced to feign dignity and walk away with aplomb, or at worst, tweet a comeback 6 hours later in the middle of the night. My heart swells with pride in knowing that regardless of how high and mighty you are, a complete nobody like me can still make your life a bit shitty without fear of reprisal. The freedom to call the President's mother a whore to his face is very much the gold standard for an egalitarian civilization.
Yogesh SawantPublished 2 years ago in VivaIs She a Bitch, or is She Just your Boss?
When I sat down to write this, I had a lot of ideas on what I could focus on, but as I started to outline my talking points I realized that I had way too much to just focus on one thing. As a result, I am going to break this up into the two main points of divergence on how women in leadership roles or just women in traditionally male-dominated fields are perceived, and how we can flip the script and do better.

5 Things I'm Gifting Myself to Achieve My Goal This Year
As I sat by the roadside, watching people move in different directions, the traffic was starting to build up. The sun had started to shine as I waited for the bus; all looked blurred from my peripheral view.

Women Are Tired of Hearing Men Talk About Crypto. I’m Tired of Women’s Ignorance
I’ll be honest. I’ve always thought cryptocurrency was way too complicated for me. All the terminology terrified me — I mean, what the hell even is this Web3? Is it a new Dark Net, a place you can only access by plugging special technology into even more special technology just to start decoding secret messages?
I'm a woman, that's my superpower
I'm a student, a women, I'm 22 years old now and sometimes I feel like I'm taking on too many responsibilities. The pandemic caught me when I was in my first year of college, the second semester. Since then my whole life has changed completely, it has become as I never expected.
Maria OstaseviciPublished 2 years ago in VivaHow My Own Biased Mindset Startled Me Out of My Wits
I’ve often praised myself for attempting to analyze any situation from various angles. I’ve always believed that there are two sides to every situation, just like there are two sides to every coin. I’ve tried to be open to other people’s perspectives, which is difficult for me because I’m a recovering perfectionist.

My Intimidating Mentor
------ I was always shy. Somehow, for reasons I don't even understand, I decided to become a litigator. It was not a profession kind to the timid. I liked the pre-litigation part, you know, the part that did not require any confrontation. I was able to think deeply about discovery matters, pondered key witness value/their testimony, and contained my thoughts on paper.
Not a #BossBabe; Just Your Average Feminist
My Instagram feed is positively brimming with Boss Babe mugs. Is this a side effect of nearing thirty? Or maybe it’s just that after centuries of repression and a lack of basic rights, more women than ever are taking control of their own financial future. You know what, I think that’s it.

There has never been a better time to become a digital nomad. Many businesses are catching up to what those of us who have been working online for some time already knew. They are learning that they really don’t have to have everyone come into an office. They can have meetings on Zoom. People can do their work at home just as effectively.

The drive was nothing but ordinary—a two-lane street lined by farmland on either side, with an occasional house every mile. No traffic lights until I made it to the small town. One Walmart, another local grocery store, and many old, red clay brick buildings stood like time capsules along the roadside until I got to the office. Their colors ranged from rustic brown to various shades of red, such as scarlet and deep burgundy. They blended in with the numerous trees during autumn as their leaves changed.
Girl, Get That Raise!
In the past, women didn't have the opportunities that they have today. Now, women are welcome in the workforce to develop their careers and reach their goals.
